Tile floors are durable but can accumulate stains, dirt, and grime. Here's how to clean tile stains and grout:
Tile Stains
For mold and mildew, use a bleach solution (2 parts water, 1 part bleach). Apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse. Test on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damage.
Grout Stains
To clean grout, mix baking soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the grout lines. Scrub and rinse. For tougher stains, use a hydrogen peroxide and baking soda paste.
Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning is a chemical-free option that uses high-temperature steam to clean and sanitize tiles and grout. It’s effective and eco-friendly, making it perfect for those avoiding chemicals.
